This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to demographic evaluations from AreaSearch, the resident count in Camperdown - Darlington stands at approximately 9,776 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,444 residents (17.3%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 8,332 people. This figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,776 as of June 2025 alongside an extra 5 validated new addresses documented following the Census. Such headcounts translate to a population density of 5,717 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb within the upper 10% nationwide and underscoring intense demand for local real estate.
Outpacing both NSW (7.3%) and Greater Sydney, Camperdown - Darlington's 17.3% expansion establishes it as an area pacesetter. Overseas migration served as the primary growth engine, accounting for roughly 94.8% of recent population additions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch originate from the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data release anchored on a 2022 baseline, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 modeling (2021 baseline) for regions lacking federal coverage. Cohort-specific growth trajectories from these sources are extended across all localities spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic models place the area in the upper quartile among analysed statistical units, anticipating an influx of 3,601 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP baselines, which constitutes a 36.8% cumulative surge across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
29 new dwellings have been approved in Camperdown - Darlington over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 0.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals across Camperdown - Darlington have tracked at roughly 5 per annum, generating 29 homes over the past 5 financial years. With an inflow of 7.8 new residents per year per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), demand substantially exceeds new construction volume, placing sustained pressure on home values and stimulating buyer competition. Typical construction values sit at $650,000—moderately higher than regional figures—reflecting a tilt toward superior build standards. Meanwhile, commercial construction approvals totaled $1.1 million this financial year, underscoring the predominantly domestic character of the neighborhood.
Per capita construction in Camperdown - Darlington trails Greater Sydney substantially, lagging the broader metropolitan baseline by 87.0%. This constrained delivery pipeline tends to reinforce asset valuations and demand for existing housing stock. Output also trails national benchmarks, highlighting established urban maturity alongside possible zoning and planning hurdles. Recent residential approvals consist of 40.0% detached houses and 60.0% townhouses or apartments. Emphasising medium-to-high density living provides accessible options suited to downsizers, property investors, and first-home purchasers. However, detached homes make up a noticeably higher share of new approvals than their historic proportion (4.0% at Census), pointing to sustained appetite for standalone family dwellings despite broader intensification. A ratio of around 5489 people per approval illustrates a deeply entrenched, mature district. Demographic projections indicate that Camperdown - Darlington is set to welcome an additional 3,601 residents through to 2041 based on recent AreaSearch quarterly reporting. Should historical construction tempos persist, dwelling additions could fall short of resident inflows, likely heightening market competition and underpinning further valuation increases.

6,618 residents of Camperdown - Darlington are employed, from a labour force of 6,763. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 72.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 16,639, about 170% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local labour pool in Camperdown - Darlington is notably skilled, featuring significant representation across the technology sector, a low unemployment rate of 2.1%, and an estimated 1.4% expansion in local employment over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,618, with local unemployment sitting 2.0% beneath the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%, while economic participation remained robust (72.8% versus 68.9% for Greater Sydney). Census figures highlighted that 59.8% of employed locals carried out duties remotely from home, though prevailing Covid-19 pandemic restrictions should be taken into account.
Resident employment centers primarily on professional & technical roles, education & training, alongside health care & social assistance. Specialisation in education & training is particularly pronounced, registering at 1.7 times the wider regional concentration. Conversely, building trades are under-indexed, with construction accounting for 4.0% of local workers relative to 8.6% across Greater Sydney. Registering 2.1 workers for every resident as at the Census, the suburb acts as a bustling employment destination, drawing commuter flows and sustaining more jobs than local residents. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS statistics shows that across the 12 months to March 2026, resident employment advanced by 1.4% against a 0.8% increase in the total labour force, trimming the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same span across Greater Sydney, jobs rose by 1.9%, the labour force grew by 1.9%, and unemployment shifted slightly downward. Longer-term workforce trajectory insights derive from Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26. When these five- and ten-year nationwide sectoral forecasts—predicting overall employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—are aligned with Camperdown - Darlington's industry distribution, local employment is estimated to expand by 7.3% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses static weighting for illustration and omits bespoke localized population adjustments).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,332 at the 2021 Census → 9,776 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
